In reply to the discussion: We are watching history in the making: the GOP is breaking apart. [View all]Lonestarblue
(12,514 posts)This week WaPo published an opinion piece by three retired Republican senators who do not support Trump but just could not say publicly that the only option for decent Republicans is voting for Biden. Few Republicans have had the courage to publicly denounce Trump, even those he can’t hurt. If you look at the red states and what those political leaders are doing, nothing good is happening, and those are the people who will take on federal roles in the future. The major blocs of the Republican Party are the white evangelicals, the white supremacists, and the suburbanites who may fall in either of the first two groups but often just want to avoid taxes so support Republicans. I don’t see any one of those groups leaving the Republican Party. Maybe it’s just Texas. And Alabama.
